Well it looks like I'm on my way to falling short of my goals for April which were:

1)150k hands - only around 18k so far
2)15k vpp - this really goes hand in hand with my volume so bleh
3)$2k profit - this part is actually somewhat promising as I'm up $421 with so little volume put in.

I need to step it up a lot if I want to achieve this, or come close to it. I'm still comtemplating take the $650 bonus when I hit 50k fpp's(currently have 48k so in the next day or so hopefully), but if I can make my goals without it, and move up to NL50 without it and take advantage of the $1500 at 100k or better yet just hold out for 250k which would be sweet especially if I can stay at nl50 and not have to drop back down to NL25.

Overall I'm happy with my play so far this month despite some pretty donktastic mistakes and unbelievable 5 outers.

My table selection has really been taken to the next level. I've been waitlisting the usual juicy 9 player tables and then joining a bunch of shorthanded tables, as well as starting a few pot limit tables. Over a pretty small sample pot limit seems to be where a good chunk of my winnings are coming from. I think that the loose passive fish flock there because of some sort of fear that the no limit players will push all-in and not allow them to draw.

The shortstack tags dont seem to bother with pot limit which is good for me because I make money off of fish. My guess is that its because they cannot push their whole stack in over a pot sized open, which means they will have to play a flop after 3betting, granted they're basically committed but the whole reason behind playing shortstacked is to minimize the amount of mistakes you make, and playing flops in 3bet pots is not really something these guys are comfortable with, at least these horrible shorties at NL25.

Not sure why more regulars don't play PL25 but its fine by me. I barely saw any regs at the PL tables today which just means more fish.

I cant wait until NL50 when I can start opening a bunch of 50bbmin tables. I really wish that stars would get these goin for all levels.

Yeah, as a (currently) NL25 shortie I can tell you that trying to play SSS on a PL table blows total balls. It's simply inefficient (so those who do, most likely suck ass anyway - not that I didn't meet a few really horrible other shorties on the NL tables either).

My favourite line is Bet/Fold. I bet, you fold.
